We’re fortunate at Redlands to have a community with a strong tradition of generously giving back to the School. For more than 141 years, families and alumni have shared their time, talent and treasure to create opportunities for students and strengthen our School. Redlands Giving represents this culture of generosity, ensuring every student can thrive now and into the future.
Why Philanthropy Matters
at Redlands
For more than a century, Redlands has grown through the generosity of families who believed in giving back. Every inspiring space, means-tested scholarship and program that enriches learning exists because someone before us chose to invest in a Redlands education. Now, it’s our turn to continue that legacy.
“Let your light shine” captures the spirit of Redlands, a place where every student is encouraged to discover their potential and shape their future. Bringing that vision to life requires more than government funding and school fees alone. Redlands receives one of the lowest levels of government support nationally, which covers only the essentials. School fees sustain exceptional teaching and learning, but major campus renewal, new buildings and specialist facilities rely on the generosity of our community.
This is why philanthropy matters. Giving provides the flexibility to enhance facilities, accelerate campus improvements, reduce reliance on debt and ensure Redlands remains a vibrant, future-focused learning environment. Your support helps bridge the gap between what is essential and what traditional funding can deliver.
Redlands is a global, coeducational community that values individuality, fosters creativity and encourages young people to think beyond borders. When you give, you’re investing not only in our School, but in the future of the young people who will shape the world around them.

A Gift for Future Generations
For more than 140 years Redlands has been shaped by people who believed deeply in the power of education and chose to invest in generations beyond their own. Gifts left in Wills have played a quiet but powerful role in ensuring the School continues to thrive and support young people well beyond the lifetime of the donor.
Shaping young lives for well into the future is arguably the greatest gift one could make. You can help a young person secure their future education.
